http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/138016448.html Love, Wolves near deadline A deadline looms tonight for the Timberwolves to sign their star forward to a maximum contract. Will he choose to accept their offer? Or will he head toward eventual free agency? 灰狼正在與Love打合約版生死格鬥。 KevinLove and the Timberwolves might agree on a maximum contract by Wednesday's 11 p.m. deadline. That would mean either a four-year, $61 million deal or a five-year, $78 million contract. The team prefers a four-year deal; will the All-Star forward hold out for five? 如果最終簽約到底是4年 $61million勝利，還是5年 $78million取勝? 灰狼隊偏好讓4年這一張獲得勝利，但Love會是5年的死忠派嗎? IF NO DEAL IS REACHED? Negotiations would end until the summer, and Love would become a restricted free agent July 1. The Wolves could match any offer made by another team, or Love could choose to sign a $6.1 million qualifying offer for the 2012-13 season, play it out, and become an unrestricted free agent. 如果如果兩方都沒分出勝負，那麼Love將變為RFA，他可以接受 $6.1 million的qualifying offer，打完一年後成UFA或是讓別隊對他報價，不過灰狼隊是擁有足夠的薪資可以跟進。 STAT MACHINE The fourth-year forward out of UCLA is 23 years old. He is fifth in the NBA in scoring (24.9 points per game), second in rebounding (13.9) and has 16 double-doubles in 17 games this season. 本季24.9分排NO.5 本季13.9籃板排NO.2 本季至今17場比賽中16場雙十 What's being said "You know what?" Love said Monday. "I'm not worried about it. I'm in a good situation regardless of what happens." Neither Love nor Wolves President of Basketball Operations David Kahn commented Tuesday. However, coach Rick Adelman praised Love for his play and not letting talks affect him. Love：「我不擔心這件事，不管結果如何我都會保持良好。」 Adelman讚賞著Love是個不會被外界流言而影響表現的球員。 HURRY UP AND WAIT These deals often go to the wire. When the Wolves signed Al Jefferson in 2007, he had to race down to Target Center -- fighting the traffic of an Ozzy Osbourne rock concert on Halloween -- to sign right before the deadline. 這些合約往往邁向很恐怖的境界，就像AL在2007年簽下長約的那一刻，是即時在簽署合約期限的前十分鐘完成的。 FOR COMPARISON'S SAKE Remember this context: Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook, two members of Love's 2008 draft class, have already signed five-year designated player contracts in recent weeks, Rose for $94 million with Chicago, Westbrook for $80 million with Oklahoma City. New Orleans guard Eric Gordon's contract negotiations could impact Love's as well. 跟Love同一年選秀的Derrick Rose與Russell Westbrook，都準備簽下5年合約分別是 $94 million與$80 million，這都會影響到合約的談判，就連Eric Gordon的合約協商也同樣有所影響。 IN THE MEANTIME The injury-plagued Wolves play at defending NBA champion Dallas at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Preview, C7. 當時AL的經紀人Jeff Schwartz希望他去尋求頂級合約，不過Jefferson 表示他還沒那種資格去拿那種合約，最終雙方是以5y/$65 million達成合約。這次Love不斷表示他很喜歡這支球隊這個地方，合約撇開年限外也是跟AL沒太大差別，如果能簽下那應該是一步好棋。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.184.148.68 ※ 編輯: sato111 來自: 111.184.148.68 (01/25 19:40)
